I don't know if this helps any but I have a letter that I found in my grandfathers belongings.It's from Isaac M. Nesmith, attorney at law, in Smithville, Tenn, dated Sep 29, 1883.It's not addressed to any names but it looks like it is to some cousins.Isaac mentions his father meeting Uncle John Nesmith (which I assume is the father of the cousins he is addressing). I don't know anything more of this letter and don't know how it came in possession of my grandfather.He was an Harding and his father and grandfather was raised in Tennessee and New Market in this time frame and he may have gotten it from his father.He was raised in Marshall county around Merrell mountain in north Marshall county.It may be associated to any Nesmiths that may have been in Marshall county.
